      In depth

      Verdict

      Celestial Queen is penalised for winning at Redcar on her handicap bow but Yorkshire Lady went close at Beverley on her return and can figure again. First Greyed will be sharper for last month’s outing at Redcar but a couple of these make their handicap debuts with TORRKEE making more appeal than Hipsway. The former faced a tough task in novice company last time though may still have finished closer than fifth with a clear run and this extra furlong will suit.
